“It is a call for reconciliation, reconciliation of man with his environment, reconciliation of men among them that Marie Robert launches through her photographic and poetic work and vision.”

M. Boutros Boutros GHALI

ex -General Secretary of o­nU- NY

Marie Robert was born in 1949 inFrance. She lives since 1988 between Paris and Chamonix.

During her schooling, both in primary school, as schools and high schools, she found that education showed no response to the expression of her energy through creativity and development of individual responsibility, to express the sensitive part of the child and the teenager curious and thirsty for knowledge, freedom and justice. Having understood very young that "science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul", she felt the need for expression and creativity as tools for knowledge-being, understanding, connection and integration.

After a brilliantly Bac Scientific obtained with first class honours, she chose therefore by the Art and the Creation to devote her intuition and intelligence for expressing the meaning of life and consciousness of being in the world. She became a mother of 3 children: Christopher born in 69, Isabelle in 71, Fabienne in 77.

She received with mention very well the diploma of contemporary dance Professor at the University of High Choreographic Studies in Paris.

Since 1977, she has directed a work multi-faceted: dance, literary, photographic, composed of many outstanding achievements and actions to communicate and meet others.

Through the expression of all this work, her research focuses o­n the movement, human relationships, life science, the art of being in the world to resume the dialogue between nature and culture, and reconcile man, o­neself with our environment. She lays the foundation concrete for the Culture of Peace and experiments new ways of expression and communication. She developed an expression rich of sense, the direction of movement with the gestures of dance creativity, a sense of the language with words of poetic philosophy, the meaning of the gaze with the images, for learning to be, weaving ties of humanity and peaceful relations, awareness of the respect for nature and responsibility of everyone, the necessary harmonization of the human person with his land to break patterns inherited from the culture of violence and war.

Her artistic and educational commitments have found its expression in the animation and the influence of a school of contemporary dance in Dinan in Brittany from 1979 to 1988. There, she develops an original pedagogy and scalable "classes body awakening" for children from 5 to 8 years old.

The seven messages written by Marie Robert, Ambassador for water

1 - Water is a living treasure, universal “matrimony”.

2 - The education to water and the environment begins with learning and experience of lucidity and reality, the knowledge of our nature, nature and each other. Education must raise awareness of life o­n the planet.

3 - I, you, he, she, we have an individual and collective responsibility for water.

4 - Water has a core value. I must correctly appreciate my water needs.

5 - The access to safe and pure water is an inalienable and fundamental right for the survival. It is based o­n the principle of respect for the nature and dignity of the human person.

6 - The other has the same basic needs than me. These needs are universal: Healthy Eating, have drinking water, have a roof, a job or a minimum standard of living, and be recognized part of a human family.

7 - The restoration of polluted water is a duty for producers and consumers. Their commitment to this process must be proportionate to the damage done to the planet and the life of the species.
